THE 5 PART WRITING SPECIAL | part 3: Main Character(s)

Introduce your Main
Character(s):

-Piper Anson is a seventeen year old aspiring artist, she is
a hopeless dreamer as well as hopelessly optimistic. Her passion in life is art,
and she hopes to make the world a more colorful place and bring joy to people one
day.

-Alex Anson is Piper’s fifteen-year-old brother, he loves
music and singing, but he is too shy to sing in front of people, so he sings to
himself whenever he’s alone. He doesn’t really know what he wants for his
future, he just wants to make it through the day.-Josh is a nineteen-year-old runaway and a rebel without a
cause, he use to enjoy the party scene, and in his slurred words “livin’ it up”,
but lately he’s given up, leaving his old life behind and hiding away in one of
his friend’s apartments, trying to forget it all.

How are the goals of
the main character and the villain clashing?

Since this is general fiction, the only real villains are
life events and the characters’ mistakes. There are a few side antagonists,
such as Alex’s bullies, though.

What motivates your
MC?

-Piper is motivated by hope and passion.

-Alex is motivated by his friend and his friend’s family’s
support and the hope for something better.

-Josh is pretty much dragged into everything.

What lie does your MC
believe in?-Piper starts to believe that she isn’t strong enough.

-Alex doesn’t believe that he could amount to anything.

-Josh believes that he is too far gone.

What is one trait the MC disapproves of in his/herself?

-Piper is happy-go-lucky at the start, but she starts to
hate her naivetés.

-Alex hates the fact that he can’t bring himself to fight
back.

-Josh just hates himself (and why or how that affects his
actions is too much to get into).

What does the MC love
about him/herself?

-Piper loves the fact that she can draw inspiration from
pretty much anything.

-Alex loves how he can think through most things.

-Josh doesn’t know anymore.

What is your MC’s
greatest strength and weakness?

-Piper is very motivated and full of joy, and she’s good at
pulling other’s in and making them feel like a person again. But she’s also naïve
to the point of a fault, she sometimes fails to understand reality.

-Alex is brave and kind, although he doesn’t realize how
brave he is. His fault is the fact that his mind won’t let him win.

-Josh is very street smart, he’s no stranger to how to survive
on his own, making him the person to go to for protection. His greatest
weakness is his habit of trying to ignore his problems instead of facing them.

What does your MC
like to do when they’re bored?

-Piper: paint.

-Alex: listen to music.

-Josh: *shrugs*

What does the MC look like?**None of the pictures are mine, all credit to the original creators**

Josh:

How is your MC similar to and different from you? This one's hard (and depressing, sheesh)...especially with three characters... I've been good and answered all of these questions this time, so I think I can skip this... XD

#Jiper WILL happen. Don't let Gray fool you. It will happen. If I keep saying it, it will grow on her and I know she ships them. Plus, they are only two years apart in age and that's a safe number. Yep, it'll happen. *nods*

GRAY: You're welcome! When I saw these comments I about had a laugh attack. xD The donut blend is really good, but I've only had a couple different kinds. I don't know if they're all the same. I could eat mint chocolate chip ice cream all day...and night.

The pics are awesome! Piper sounds amazing, and so does Alex. Josh...poor guy. I'm already feeling for him and I haven't even read this story yet! <3 Rock on, girl! Can't wait to hear more about your story!

@Faith: Hey, if you ship it, then I'm okay with that. XD@Anna: That sounds like a blast!! I'm thinking about making it sometime this month. I've told my mom I just want to do Twitter for now because I don't like Facebook and I eventually plan to do an Instagram. It seems like that's where the book audience is. XD

It's not sad. If it makes you feel better, my parents drink it everyday. They brew it at home and get special flavors from HEB. XD

I love HEB, too. All the ice cream in that brand is pretty good. I actually haven't had ice cream in a while because it didn't sound great for a while, but now that it's getting warmer, I kind of want some. Oh, the Birthday Cake one is good, too. Pretty much anything with chocolate, except the one with almonds. I tried that one and that's how I learned my almond irritation had grown a little stronger. XD

Well... I'm here now. XD Sorry. Just sayin', Josh sounds awesome at the same time he sounds like a person I'm not sure if I'd want to be friends with. Definitely, I'd go up to him, hand him a light bulb and tell him to use it. XD

Just Josh. I need this in my life just because of him. He needs a hug and someone to tell him that he doesn't have to be too far gone. I sincerely hope I get to read this one day because Piper, Alex, and Josh all have extremely intriguing character arcs (as far as I can tell). Good luck with the writing! <3
